Bride blasts nightmare in-laws for gatecrashing honeymoon by booking SAME hotel & insisting they spend the week together
DESPITE the fact that it's supposed to be the best day of your life, there's no denying that their wedding can be incredibly intense for the bride and groom.
And it's for this exact reason that couples often jet off somewhere sunny after saying their I dos to get away from it all... and everyone.
But unfortunately for one set of newlyweds, their in-laws didn't get the memo and decided to turn up unannounced to spend their honeymoon with them.
Posting on Reddit's Am I The A******* forum, the new bride explained how her husband's parents had bought them an all-inclusive one-week holiday as a wedding present.
Although they were incredibly grateful at first, the bride wrote: "On arriving, we found out they'd also booked a room at this hotel for themselves for the whole week and want to do group things together."
What's more, the couple aren't particularly close with their "overbearing" in-laws - only seeing them three times a year maximum.
She continued: "It's not like they're in the room next door or anything and we can still do stuff in our room alone but they knock on our door regularly, waking us up at 6am, making us get all 3 meals a day with them."
At first, the couple tried to politely tell his parents they wanted "alone time" - but were told "that's what the room is for".
To make matters worse, the newlyweds even faked a stomach bug to get out of dinner one night.
However, the in-laws simply ordered room service to the newlyweds' room - forcing them to fake stomach aches throughout the painful meal.
We also tried faking illness to get out of eating with them and they just got room service to our room and sat with us while we faked stomach aches. My husband snapped earlier and said this whole thing was way over the line...
Three days into the break, the bride wrote: "My husband snapped earlier and said this whole thing was way over the line and they had no right intruding on our honeymoon of all things and they told us they paid for the whole thing.
"And that as adults we're allowed to take holidays at the same time to the same place." Sorry, WHAT?
As the couple hadn't been expecting such a generous present, she added: "We saved up to pay for our own honeymoon before they surprised us. We still have the money we would have spent in our joint wedding/honeymoon account.
"There's another town we wanted to go to on our honeymoon and we looked it up and we could get tickets from here to there and then back home for less than £60 in total."
On top of this, the bride has considered booking a few extra days in a hotel using half of the money they saved - and his parents wouldn't have to know until the newlyweds had already left.
Originally, the bride was posting on the forum to ask for advice as to whether the couple would be wrong to "run away from his parents without telling them".
But shortly after, she added: "Our train should be arriving in our final station in the next 30 minutes, we've found a hotel that's able to take us tonight and we are very excited about the next four days."
Naturally, other users in the forum rallied around the bride and reassured her that they were doing the right thing.
One replied: "Don't forget to turn your phones off for the rest of the time you're gone. Let them know you're safe so they hopefully don't call the police but after that go no contact."
Another added: "What utter lunacy is going through the parents head?? I'm not sure how you're staying so polite. Run!"
However, a third replied: "As much as I agree - I'm just throwing it out there that if you worked hard to save this money, it seems a shame to not use it on the whole intended length of time.
"I know it's awful but maybe consider sticking it out and going away on an especially amazing first anniversary trip together?"
